Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Check Point Firewall-1 versions 3.0b through 4.0 SP1

Description The issue allows local users to potentially gain privileges or modify the firewall policy due to the software following symlinks and creating a world-writable temporary .cpp file when compiling Policy rules.

Recommendations For versions 3.0b through 4.0 SP1, consider restricting access to the compilation of Policy rules until a fix is available, and avoid using world-writable temporary files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
